PR70 Scope and Content:

Series consists of several published and unpublished literary works written by Daniel MacCarthy, and some reviews and promotional material relating to these works. Most of the material in the series relates to Daniel's historical research into the life of Florence MacCarthy Reagh ('State Papers' [published in the journal of the Kilkenny Archaeological Society and the 'Dublin Review'], 'The Life and Letters of Florence MacCarthy Reagh …' [1867] and 'A Spanishe Letter from Don Dermicio Cartie to Florence McCartie' [published in the journal of the Historical and Archaeological Association of Ireland in 1871]) and the history of the MacCarthy Reaghs ('A Historical Pedigree of the Sliochd Feidhlimidh, the MacCarthys of Gleannacroim ...' [1875]). The series also includes some examples of Daniel's work in fiction ('The Memorial Window') and poetry (see PR70/A/6).

Daniel contributed many articles to the 'Nation' newspaper, examples of which can be seen in the manuscript volumes [PR70/C], and several are discussed in his correspondence [PR70/B].

Daniel also published several novels and short stories which are not included in the collection. See for example, 'Antonio the Student of Padua' [published in 'The New Monthly Magazine' in 1835], 'The Siege of Florence: an historical romance' [1840], 'Massaniello: an historical romance' [1842], and the 'Free Lance: a historical romance' [1844]. It also appears that Daniel edited a journal called 'The Tablet' which was published in Florence, Italy in 1835.
